Quails' Gate Estate Winery Dry Riesling 2011
Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
 | Our Riesling is handpicked and sourced entirely from vines in our Quails’ Gate Estate vineyards. The deep roots that extend into the subsoils of the Boucherie Mountain slopes bring more complex mineral and slate notes to the fruit. This wine is cold fermented in stainless tanks with French and German cultivated yeast strains to add complexity and character. Classic aged Riesling characteristics will develop in the bottle over a 2–3 year period and will reward careful cellaring of 5 – 10 years. |

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
